"Indeed I am pleased & honored to learn . . . that you are using 'Babbitt' in your contemporary fiction course. No, I'm afraid I have nothing in particular to say about the book, except that I am very fond of George F. Babbitt. My publishers . . . have, in connection with the publication (tomorrow!) of my new book, 'Arrowsmith,' published a pamphlet about me which might be of use to you . . . ."
